Jefferson County Sheriff's Office Capt. Jerry Haferman said the Milwaukee County medical examiner identified Guzman-Flores using her fingerprints from a misdemeanor conviction in 2012.

Milbrath said that her family had last seen her on Oct. 5, 2013. Her body was found March 29.

"They've been very worried for her welfare, and obviously, very upset when we gave them the news," Haferman said.

Milwaukee police said she was never reported missing.

Police have not commented on her manner of death.

Her family said told WISN 12 News it was obviously saddened. Her lawyer told reporter Nick Bohr that Guzman-Flores had a supportive family and described her as "a sweet girl and very, very nice."

Milbrath said deputies are searching for anyone who may have been in contact with Guzman-Flores on or around Oct. 5. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Tim Behselich at 920-674-7314. Tips can also be called in anonymously to 1-800-78-CRIME.
